Established in September 2006, the Board Policy Manual articulates the University’s mission, vision, governance structure, Board of Trustees (Board) composition, membership, committees, and operations. The manual also includes policies and plans approved or adopted by the Board.
Independent of this manual, the University maintains institutional policies that include policies approved by the President and other institutional officers, as authorized by the Board.
